The UConn Car Club would like to invite you to be a part of our 10th Annual Spring Car Show on Sunday, April 14th (Raindate: April 21st). Please follow us on twitter or the Facebook event page for updates.

Hours:
Gates open @ 9:00 am (Please try not to come earlier because the lot will not be ready)
Registration closes @ 12:00 pm
Gates will remain open until the beginning of awarding Trophies
Trophies by 1:30-2:00 pm

Price:
$10 per car to show,
$3 per car for spectator parking in separate lot.

Parking:
Due to our move to Rentschler Field for this year’s show, we will no longer be limited to ~600 participants!! If you can make it to the show, you can enter!

There will be no pre-registration. If your group would like to park together; arrive early and drive in together as a group. The first map attached below lists parking lots in the area and their locations so you can meet as a group before arriving at the show to drive in together.

Due to the nature of Rentscher Field’s parking lots, we cannot guarantee parking with friends, etc. If you want to park together, make sure to arrive together.

Important: This year spectator parking will be across in a separate lot outside of the lots for registered show cars. If you do not plan to register your car, you will be asked to park in the spectator area. Police Officers and club members will be there to direct you.

Bragging Rights
For those who have yet to see one of our shows, we tend to amass some of the greatest diversity of cars in one place. Anyone who has been to a previous show can attest there's something for everyone, including Classics, Domestics, Imports, Euros and even Supercars.

Just wanted to make a thread and invite everyone - Subies always come highly represented and I'd love to see you guys there! If you all have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask - I'll be checking back here often and providing the best answers I can.

Mods, if this is in a poor area or anything, please don't hesitate to move it.

Less than a month to the show, guys - anyone have any questions or anything?

So far, answers based on popular questions from other forums:

- Propane grills and tailgating setups are ALLOWED, as long as you don't take up obnoxious amounts of space (remember, with entry, you are buying one spot - so we must ask that you don't take up 8 spots with your uber-sweet tailgating setup)
- Alcohol is NOT ALLOWED.
- We will have ample parking for trailers used to bring in show cars.
- The spectator parking fee is only for on-site spectator parking. There is no fee for just spectating if you park off-site.

Again, we are really excited to be hosting the show in a bigger format this year and want to have this be the biggest show in the area. I personally would love nothing more than to have the lot packed with you Subaru guys - so I sincerely hope to see you all there!
